Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. This is a tough one to call. We're looking at an extended flat spell here, so don't get your hopes up for any quick wins.
We start off with a whole lot of nothing. From now until the 8th of July, it's pretty much dead. Tiny windswell and messy conditions just aren't worth the paddle. You’ll see a bit of bump here and there, but honestly, it’s not surfable. You’re looking at over a week of quiet water.
Things finally try to wake up on Wednesday the 8th of July. Kennebunk Beach sees a pulse of swell arrive. The morning is still tiny, but by the afternoon we get some 6 ft waves pushing in from the SSE. The energy is moderate (193), and we get a clean look with gentle offshore winds from the NNE. That said, the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit crumbly and won’t have much push. Not a classic, but it’s the first real sign of life. Because of the short period, it won't be super organised.
The next half-decent window shows up around Saturday the 11th of July. The swell size sits around 3 ft to 4 ft from the S and SSE, and the energy picks up nicely, hitting a solid 264 by the afternoon. The morning has clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, so it'll be rideable. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 64°.
The rest of the run into the second week is a mixed bag. You get some afternoon cleanup on the 15th of July with 4 ft and 4 ft swells and clean cross-offshore winds, but it’s not going to blow your mind. Consistency is fair, and crowds are sometimes an issue at this spot. The sheltered setup means it needs the direction to be just right.
Given the long flat start and only brief, ordinary windows, this isn't a standout forecast. The best on offer is the afternoon of July 8th for a clean, surfable wave, but don't expect perfection. The 11th might offer a bit more energy, but the wind isn't as clean for the whole day.

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
